2 Harddrives in A4000 issues
« on: February 18, 2008, 01:46:44 AM »
I having a problem with IDE HDs, so I'd like some advice about them.

The A4k I have, came with the original 250mb HD which was nearly full. I've now got a 40gig in there now, and would like to set up the old HD as a slave and transfer the Toaster program and other stuff that were on it over to the new HD.

I tried the different combinations of the jumpers, but it never showed up. Set as Slave, it should appear, like it does on my PC?

Its OK. I set the old one as master (after getting the jumper settings online) and they both came up.

However, moving the Video Toaster has resulted in a new problem. It can't locate the VT fonts and quits as soon as it boots up. Somehow, I have to point VT to where they are.
